We are starting to believe Lebanon is some sort of a mystical country with supernatural activity. 

Some of its inhabitants have superpowers.

Forget about the tales and fictional characters you grew up admiring and envying. Turns out the Lebanese are the real underground wizards of this planet.

Don't believe us? 

Here are a few Lebanese phrases that prove our point: 

1. Ma byedros w bijib kello A*

What it means: "They ace all their exams without studying." 

Don't ask how, it's a superpower. 

2. Byekol w ma byensa7

What it means: "They binge on food and never gain weight."

Yes, this is an expression some people actually use and believe in.

3. Ma byestghel w bya3mel mleyeen

What it means: "He/she doesn't work and yet, they make millions."

Spooky vibes and money laundering emit from this one. 

4. Ma bye7ki bas bi2ool kteer

What it means: "He doesn't talk much but says a lot." 

We know... too confusing. 

5. Byel2ata 3al tayir

What it means: "They catch (words, thoughts, ideas... pretty much everything) as it's flying." 

Aha, yes, ehem, this is an actual phrase. 

6. Bisoo2 mghamad

What it means: "They drive with their eyes shut."

If that weren't a superpower, the whole population would have vanished by now... so it must be true.

7. Bi3assib bas b senye biroo2

What it means: "One second they're mad at you, the next they've calmed down." 

There's no other explanation, it's a superpower. No ordinary human being can cool off that fast.
